Non Dairy Cheesecake

It’s cheesecake time!  I love cheesecake, but not everyone can enjoy this fantastic, rich, and creamy dessert.  I have a great dairy free version that will have you asking for more. This recipe is super easy and great for anyone who can’t tolerate dairy.

    1. Eggs are not considered a dairy ingredient. This is not a vegan recipe, it just contains no milk or cheese.

  2. YUM! I recently had to go dairy-free & egg yolk free; I used 3 egg whites in stead of the eggs; it didn’t end up as tall as other cheesecakes, but it was still very delicious; I even shared one today at a family potluck & everyone loved it. THANK YOU for the recipe. It makes being dairy-free much easier to handle knowing there are still “normal” food I can eat.

    1. Thank you so much! It’s good to know that you can replace the eggs with whites. All the recipes I share here are dairy-free, it’s really not the end of the world!

  3. This is very good. I’m allergic to milk but for a long time I didn’t know so I have had cheese cake before. The only suggestion I have is to add some salt and maybe a pinch more lemon juice. Because tofutti doesn’t have that sharp cream cheese flavor you need a little help knocking it up there. Really this makes a very good lighter flavor cheese cake. I make a strawberry sauce to top mine. Loved it.
